NFL 2014 Week 13 Predictions

Week 13 Predictions
Lions -7 over Bears, 30-17
-The Lions are a better team than their record over the last month or so. They right the ship here.

Cowboys -3 over Eagles, 27-20
-Mark Sanchez in a big game on national TV on the road….yup.

Seahawks +1 over 49ers, 24-22
-I’ve always been on this side of the ledger. This 49ers team is weak. Seahawks pounce.

Ravens -5.5 over Chargers, 30-23
-The Patriots are 1 of 2 teams in the top 10 in offense, defense, and special teams. The other team is the Baltimore Ravens.

Colts -9.5 over Ethnic Slurs, 34-16
-This line couldn’t be too much. Colts will get it right here and Luck pushes an absurd yardage total.

Giants -2.5 over Jags, 26-13
-Giants are a bad team, but not as bad as Jacksonville is. The offense can produce some points, enough to win.

Rams -7 over Raiders, 17-9
-Rams are a touch little team. Raiders got their win and are about to fully pack it in for the season.

Bengals -4 over Bucs, 23-14
-I will not be watching this game. Bengals take care of business, but that’s about it here.

Saints +3.5 over Steelers, 31-30
-I don’t know what to do with the Saints. I have no idea. So I am taking the 3.5 points and Brees over Ben.

Cards -2.5 over Falcons, 20-16
-Ugh. Probably will be a painful game to watch.

Pats +3 over Packers, 34-30
-If I get points with the Pats, I’m taking it. The offenses are very close in ability. The defenses are not.

Chiefs +1.5 over Broncos, 27-24
-I have a feeling. The Chiefs are equipped to beat this team, especially with the offense line issues the Broncos are having.

Fins -5.5 over Jets, 26-6
-Yes please. Lock of the week.

Straight Up: 9-3

NFL 2014 Week 12 Predictions

Week 12 Predictions
Browns +3 over Falcons, 27-20
-This is exactly the type of game the “first place” Falcons lose. Josh Gordon + Hoyer is the second best deep ball thrower efficiency wise + Falcons cover WRs about as well as a HS secondary would.

Colts -13.5 over Jags, 34-17
-Oh boy.

Packers -9 over Vikings, 41-14
-Oh boy again.

Pats -7 over Lions, 27-17
-The Lions defense will be tough, but the Pats are just vibing right now. Detroit also has no answer for Gronk.

Eagles -11 over Titans, 27-10
-Sanchez is bad, but the whole Titans team is bad. Weird game that I won’t be watching very much of.

Rams +5 over Bolts, 23-14
-Chargers are going the WRONG direction.

Cards +7 over Seahawks, 20-24
-A good game that the Seahawks probably win at home. But when the probable number 1 seed is getting 7 points, you take it.

Dolphins +7 over Broncos, 27-26
-The interior line issues for the Broncos are very real, and the Dolphins can exploit that. They can also show with the Broncos enough to win this game.

Niners -9 over Ethnic Slurs, 17-12
-I don’t like either team, but the Niners just have far more talent. I won’t be watching any part of this game.

Cowboys -4 over Giants, 20-6
-A slugfest that will be ugly to watch, punctuated by a few big hits to Dez.

Bills -2.5 over Jets, 24-13
-A tough game that will probably be very disjointed. Bills have more talent, so I think that will

Saints -3 over Ravens, 31-23
-Both teams really need it, and at some point at night on national TV at home the Saints will right this ship. I’ve been there all year on the Saints bandwagon: if it goes off the cliff I’ll be on it.



Record last week:
Straight Up: 4-6
By Spread: 3-7

Record this year:
Straight Up: 80-47
By Spread: 66-60

Lifetime record:
Straight Up: 747-402

NFL 2014 Week 11 Predictions

Week 11 Predictions
Falcons -1 over Panthers, 24-17
-Panthers are on a short week and beat up. The Falcons aren’t very good, but somehow are indeed playing for first place.

Vikings +3 over Bears, 20-19
-Pick against the Bears until further notice.

Browns -3 over Texans, 20-13
-Ryan Mallett everyone! Browns triumph in the Bowl of Former Patriot Backups.

Seahawks +2 over Chiefs, 24-20
-Touch physical game but the Seahawks are rounding into form. Given points? Take it.

Saints -7 over Bengals, 33-13
-Blowout written all over this.

Giants +4 over 49ers, 23-22
-I just have a feeling. This 49ers team is fairly much dead in the water, but with a 5-4 record is mathematically alive. Something bad is going to happen, and this would be exactly it.

Broncos -9.5 over Rams, 31-16
-Austin Davis was flawed, but he had moxy. The Broncos are going to eat Hill for lunch.

Chargers -10 over Raiders, 31-17
-Easy lay-up for the Chargers at home. Loser has to move to LA?

Packers -5.5 over Eagles, 37-31
-OVER. TAKE THE OVER.

Lions-Cardinals is the game of the week, and a complete stay away.

Patriots +3 over Colts, 27-23
-Nobody believes in you Patriots! No one believes in you! Patriots don’t lose in prime time or off of bye weeks.

Stay away from the Steelers. None of us have any idea what they will do week to week.


Record last week:
Straight Up: 8-3
By Spread: 8-3

Record this year:
Straight Up: 76-41
By Spread: 63-53

Lifetime record:
Straight Up: 743-396

NFL 2014 Week 10 Predictions

Week 10 Predictions

Ravens –10 over Titans, 28-17
-Mettenberger is going to have a bad time against that defense.

Lions -3 over Fins, 30-26
-This is a great matchup, but the Lions have the edge with the time off and return of Megatron.

Cowboys -7.5 over Jags, 20-6
-The Cowboys are in rough shape but are due a win and the Jags are pitiful.

Saints -4.5 over Niners, 31-13
-Teams going in the opposite directions.

Steelers -4 over Jets, 24-6
-My confusion over this line is immeasurable.

Falcons pk over Bucs, 27-10
-We remember how this went earlier this year, right?

Cards -7 over Rams, 27-16
-The Rams are just too hurt and I believe in these Cardinals. Palmer carves them up.

Broncos -11.5 over Raiders, 34-21
-I have a lot of respect for what Carr is doing, and this could be a running shootout for a while. But after that NE game there is no way the Broncos lose this.

Seahawks -9 over Giants, 30-16
-They are going to crush them.

Packers -7 over Bears, 37-17
-Have you seen the Bears play football lately?

Panthers +6 over Eagles, 21-20
-I’m betting against Mark Sanchez and for a team with 10 days to prepare. Seems safe.


Record last week:
Straight Up: 8-1
By Spread: 8-1

Record this year:
Straight Up: 68-38
By Spread: 55-50
